December 5, 2025
To the City Council and Residents of Pleasant Hill,
I am pleased to submit the City of Pleasant Hill’s (City) Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 (FY 24/25). The ACFR, which contains the City’s basic financial statements, auditor’s report, and important supplemental information, is intended to present the reader with a comprehensive view of the City’s financial position and activities.
The ACFR was prepared by the City’s Finance Division, which assumes responsibility for its accuracy, completeness, and fairness. The City’s financial statements were audited by Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP, the City’s independent certified public accountant, to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are fairly presented in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP issued an unmodified opinion, the highest possible rating, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section of the ACFR provides an overview of the City’s fiscal position and activities. The MD&A complements this transmittal letter and should be read in conjunction with it.
City of Pleasant Hill Government
Pleasant Hill is a general law city incorporated in 1961. It delivers a range of municipal services under the council-manager form of government and offers outstanding quality of life to its approximately 33,400 residents across 8.1 square miles.
City Council
The City Council consists of five members who are elected to staggered four-year terms. In November 2024, the City Council transitioned from at-large to district-based elections, a change approved by City Council in March 2023. Currently three members elected from Districts 1, 2, and 5 serve with two members previously elected to at-large seats; elections for Districts 3 and 4 will occur in November 2026, after which the full transition to district-based elections will be complete.
The City Treasurer was an elected position, but beginning in December 2024, consistent with voterapproved ballot Measure M, the City Council delegated authority to the City Manager to appoint this position and assign its responsibilities to the Chief Financial Officer. The Mayor and Vice-Mayor are elected by the Council from its own ranks and serve one-year terms. The City Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Attorney is a contracted position. ii
Budget Committee
While retaining authority to approve all actions, the City Council has established a Budget Committee to review and oversee financial matters. Staff provides the Budget Committee and City Council with reports such as the ACFR, the Long-Term Financial Plan, and quarterly budget-versusactual results that are utilized in evaluating the City’s financial position.
Economic Conditions and Budget Challenges
The local and regional condition of the economy have significant influence on the City’s financial position since nearly 40% of revenues come from retail sales and reservations at our local hotels.
The national economy has grown over the past year with the real gross domestic product (GDP) rising 3.8% as of June 2025, personal income increasing 0.4% as of July, and consumer spending increasing 0.6% as of August 2025. This is reflected in the City’s economy with per capita personal income increasing 4.6% from $66,905 to $69,989 as of December 2023 and December 2024, respectively. The national, state, and local unemployment rates as of August 2025 are higher than the previous year at 4.3% (4.2% prior year), 5.5% (5.3%), and 4.8% (4.1%), respectively.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates from nearly 0% in March 2022 to 5.25% in July 2023 to address inflation. The Federal Reserve’s stated intent was to achieve its 2% target inflation rate, which had risen to a high of 9.1% in June 2022 compared to 3.0% in September 2025. The higher interest rates may have addressed inflation, but the hike also slowed home sales. Recently, the Federal Reserve has cut the interest rate twice in 2025 and has gone from 4.25% to 3.75% to assist with a weakening job market and higher unemployment. The City has observed a slight increase in single-family home sales during FY 24/25 from 241 to 245, due to a combination of lower rates and a reduction of median home prices. Median prices of single-family homes in Pleasant Hill decreased by 3.67% from $1.09 million in June 2024 to $1.05 million in June 2025.
Nearly three years have passed since the City concluded the local emergency on February 27, 2023, and the City continues to feel the aftereffects of the pandemic from federal funding to flat hotel revenues. The spending power in the City could not be maintained due to several factors, such as federal funds being mostly spent, loss of brick-and mortar retailers, and higher costs of goods due to inflation and rising interest rates. Although online shopping was already on the rise, the pandemic significantly accelerated the shift, exacerbating financial challenges for physical retail stores. Some of the stores have closed, including some major retailers in our City, leaving behind vacant retail spaces. The City has been working with local businesses to fill those vacancies, but it has been challenging to find retailers to fill some of the larger spaces. This collaborative effort has yielded some success, with positive developments downtown at the former hardware and supply site, which will be occupied by a Japanese supermarket that includes plans for an indoor food court in 2026.
Finally, revenue recovery from hotels in the form of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) remains slow and is still lags behind pre-COVID-19 levels, while travel demand continues to be affected by the negative impacts of job market and rising costs. The City continues to actively collaborate with the Pleasant Hill Tourism Improvement District, which includes hotel operators and the Chamber of Commerce, to work collectively to market and attract guests to stay at local hotels with upcoming events in the Bay Area, like Super Bowl LX and the men’s World Cup 2026.
iii
In March 2021, the federal government approved the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocating $350 billion to address the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of this amount, $1.2 billion was distributed to smaller cities in California based on population, and the City received $8.3 million in ARPA funds to support recovery efforts. These funds required obligation by December 31, 2024, and expenditure by December 31, 2026. The City Council has allocated the ARPA funds and spent approximately $7.1 million through fiscal year 2025 towards local business improvement from the City’s Perks program and grant assistance; storm drain infrastructure improvements; public safety services and equipment, from crossing guards and the CORE program to police radio equipment replacement; and additional library hours for the public. The City Council has approved projects and programs in fiscal year 2026, such as the backup generators at the corporation yard and city hall and the completion of the digital documentation accessibility project.
The City has prudently maintained or reduced costs whenever possible, but personnel costs continue to be a significant share of the City’s total expenditures. The City’s required contribution toward its CalPERS unfunded liability will continue to increase rapidly over the next few years despite the City’s best efforts on cost containment. The City has worked with experts in this area and continues to analyze the City’s options for reducing the lifecycle net cost and volatility of required contributions, which has grown from $2.7 million in FY 19/20 to $5.2 million in FY 25/26 and estimated to be $6.5 million in FY 28/29. During June 2022, the City implemented one of the recommendations made by an independent actuarial firm and deposited $1.0 million into a Pension Trust Fund. The City Council also approved an additional contribution of $0.3 million and $0.4 million into the Pension Trust Fund during fiscal years ending 2024 and 2025, respectively, based on the audited financial information of the previous year, and ended with a balance of nearly $2.0 million on June 30, 2025. The Pension Trust Fund is an investment tool used to offset future pension costs and is under the direction of the City. Unlike many municipalities, the City does not provide post-retirement health care and, therefore, has no liability costs nor contributions to record.
Addressing critical capital asset and infrastructure needs continues to be a top priority. The City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal year 2024-2029 illustrates the City’s infrastructure needs, and proposes a plan for making infrastructure investments. Pleasant Hill residents recognized the need for additional local funding for capital improvements and supported the Measure K sales tax increase in November 2016. Measure K is currently projected to generate in excess of $5.0 million annually through March 31, 2037. The funds can be used for essential City services including repaving and maintaining neighborhood streets; maintaining and upgrading the City’s storm drains; adding new sidewalks and paths for walking and biking; completion and operation of a community library; and funding other City projects and services that Pleasant Hill residents and the City Council have identified as key priorities. The City achieved one of the major objectives with the opening of the City Library on July 30, 2023, with the assistance of bonds that will be repaid in fiscal year 2032.
The City Council authorized $11.2 million in funding in the CIP over the next two fiscal years for ongoing programs and projects, such as the maintenance of and the additional hours for the City Library, completion of the Contra Costa Boulevard street improvements from Harriet to Viking, and needed repair and maintenance of City facilities. Finally, the City Council created reserves in the Measure K Fund for potential impacts of sales tax revenues for $2.5 million which is equal to an annual debt service payment and setting aside $75 thousand annually for future maintenance and facility matters at the library.
iv
Biennial Budget
The City maintains a biennial budget and capital improvement plan adopted by the City Council prior to July 1st. This serves as the foundation of the City’s financial planning and control. The City Council approves all budget amendments and transfers between funds by resolution during the fiscal year. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between individual departments and funds. Budget transfers between accounts within a division or department may be approved by the division or department head.
In June 2024, the City Council adopted the biennial budget for FY 24/25 – FY 25/26. The goal was to create a realistic plan that addresses the City’s major revenue and expenditure challenges while reflecting the priorities of the City Council and community. Also, one of the suggestions for improvement was to provide City Council an “Update to the Long-Term Financial Plan” (LTFP) prior to the next Biennial Budget process. The City Council reviewed and approved the Updated LTFP on June 16, 2025.
Awards
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded the City a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The City has received this award for 33 consecutive years. To receive the award, a jurisdiction must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR that satisfies GAAP and applicable legal requirements. Staff believe that the ACFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, again meets the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements, and will submit it to the GFOA for consideration.
Acknowledgments
This ACFR is the result of the combined efforts of the City’s Finance Division, other City departments, and Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP. The City Council Budget Committee is similarly deserving of acknowledgment for its thoughtful, prudent guidance and direction on the financial affairs of the City.

1 Independent Auditor’s Report
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Pleasant Hill, California
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Pleasant Hill, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and for the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, Traffic Mitigation Fund, Measure J Growth Management Fund, Gas Tax Fund, and American Rescue Plan Act Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1(N) to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2024, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 2 In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the schedule of City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability, and the schedule of City contributions, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context.
3 We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the individual and combining fund financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report.
The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 5, 2025, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
5 The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) provides City of Pleasant Hill’s (City) management’s summary of the financial statements and assessment of the City’s financial condition.
Financial Highlights
The City’s total net position (assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources) was $83.3 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $80.2 million as of June 30, 2024. The beginning fund balance includes a restatement for ($0.9) million with the implementation of a new accounting standard related to compensated absences (Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101).
The City’s General Fund reported an ending fund balance of $19.2 million, approximately $11.8 million of which was assigned, $2.1 million of which was restricted, $0.1 million of which was nonspendable, and $5.2 million of which was unassigned.
The City’s General Fund ending fund balance decreased by $0.2 million, due to Measure K transfers for project and program funding.
Overview of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
This Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is organized into five sections:
An Introduction, which includes the Transmittal Letter; Management’s Discussion and Analysis;
Basic Financial Statements and Notes;
Supplemental information; and
Statistical information.
Basic Financial Statements
The Basic Financial Statements summarize the City’s activities and financial position. They contain the Government-Wide Financial Statements, Fund Financial Statements, and Notes to these financial statements.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The Government-Wide Financial Statements provide an overview of the City’s complete financial activities. They include the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities.
The Statement of Net Position reports the City’s capital assets and long-term liabilities on a full accrual basis of accounting similar to that used by private-sector businesses in their balance sheets. Over time, changes in net position may serve as an indication of whether the City’s financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities provides information about the City’s revenues and expenses on a full accrual basis, similar to that used by private-sector businesses in their income statements, with an emphasis on measuring net revenues or expenses for each of the City’s functions. The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in net position for the year.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
6 The amounts in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are separated into Governmental and Business-Type Activities, as follows:
Governmental Activities - Governmental activities include all of the City’s basic services: general government, public safety, transportation, and community development. These services are supported by the City’s general revenues, such as taxes, and by specific program revenues, such as fees. Business-Type Activities - The City’s only enterprise activity, Diablo Vista Water, is reported as a business-type activity. The activity is supported by fees and assessments paid by the users.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements can be found on pages 18-19 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that are intended for specific activities or objectives. A fund is an independent accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts.
The City uses fund accounting to ensure compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major funds. All non-major funds are combined into a single column on each fund statement. The General Fund is always considered a major fund. The other funds that the City considers major funds may change from year to year based on City activities.
The Fund Financial Statements display the City’s operations in more detail than the Government-Wide Financial Statements. There are three main types of funds in governmental accounting: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, defined below.
Governmental funds: These are the funds that support most governmental functions. The fund types in this category include general, special revenue, debt service, and capital project funds. Proprietary funds: These funds are used to account for a government’s ongoing activities that are similar to those found in the private sector. This fund type includes Diablo Vista Water. Fiduciary funds: These funds are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit in a trustee capacity or as a custodian for individuals, private organizations, or other government agencies.
Governmental Funds
Governmental Fund Financial Statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which means they measure only current financial resources and uses. Long-lived assets, such as capital assets, and long-term liabilities, such as pension and compensated absences, are only presented in the Government-Wide Financial Statements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of Government-Wide Financial Statements, it is useful to compare the two. Reconciliation between the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances facilitates this analysis.
The City normally adopts a biennial budget on or before June 30 of even-numbered years for each of the ensuing two fiscal years. The Budgetary Comparison Statements are provided to demonstrate performance against budget.
The Governmental Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Comparison Statements can be found on pages 20- 28 of this report.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
7 Proprietary Funds
Proprietary Funds are prepared on the full accrual basis of accounting. These statements include all of their assets and liabilities, both current and long-term.
The Proprietary Fund Financial Statements can be found on pages 29-31 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of the City. They are not reported in the Government-Wide Financial Statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs.
The City has two different types of fiduciary funds: a Private-Purpose Trust Fund is used to report trusts or similar arrangements that benefit other entities, and a Custodial Fund is used to report resources held in a custodial capacity for other public entities.
The Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements can be found on pages 32-33 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is necessary to acquire a full understanding of the data provided in the Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements. The Notes to the Financial Statements can be found on pages 34-63 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information (RSI)
RSI is presented in addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes. This required information includes the schedule of the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability and the schedule of City contributions. The RSI can be found on pages 64-65 of this report.
Other Supplementary Information
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major Governmental Funds and Custodial Funds are presented immediately following the Notes to the Financial Statements. Combining statements and schedules can be found on pages 68-86 of this report.
Financial Analysis of Government-Wide Financial Statements The City’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources in governmental activities exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $81.5 million at the end of the fiscal year (FY), an increase in net position of $3.0 million from prior year including the restatement for compensated absences.

8 Condensed Governmental Activities Net Position at June 30 ($ in Millions) 2025 2024
Cash and investments 42.4 $ 42.2 $
Other assets 10.7 9.0
Capital assets 96.8 93.1
Total assets 144.3 149.9
Deferred outflows of resources - pension items 16.3 21.9 Net pension liabilities 55.0 55.6
Long-term debt, noncurrent 14.1 16.4
Other liabilities 14.0 11.8
Total liabilities 83.8 83.1
Deferred inflows of resources - pension items 1.6 2.9
Net position:
Net investment in capital assets 80.5 74.7
Restricted 19.9 19.1
Unrestricted (18.9) (14.3)
Total net position $ 79.5 81.5 $
The largest portion of the City’s net position is its net investment in capital assets such as buildings (e.g., library), infrastructure (e.g., streets), vehicles, and less any related debt used to acquire those assets for $80.5 million in FY 24/25. The City uses these assets to provide services to citizens. This amount is reported separately because it cannot easily be liquidated to pay liabilities.
The restricted portion of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they are used.
The Statement of Net Position for Government-Wide Statements includes three pension-related balances: net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources, and deferred inflows of resources. Further details about employee benefits can be found in Note 10 to the basic financial statements.
Cash and investments increased by $0.2 million in FY 24/25 due to higher investment earnings of $1.9 million and $3.2 million in Measure J capital grant revenues for Contra Costa Boulevard Project from Harriet to Viking (CCB Project) during FY 24/25. This was offset by the use those grant funds for the CCB Project which spent approximately $8.1 million during FY 24/25 along with other funding sources such as Measure K.
Net pension liabilities decreased by $0.6 million to $55.0 million and deferred outflows of resources for pension decreased by $5.6 million to $16.3 million in FY 24/25, due to CalPERS exceeding its assumed rate of return in FY 23/24 of 9.3% and an increase in unfunded pension costs. CalPERS always reports financial information a year behind, so the impact of FY 23/24 investment returns of 9.3% are included in the City’s current year financial reports. The assumed rate of return by CalPERS is 6.9%, therefore the lower investment return results in higher pension liability costs. It is important to note, CalPERS has disclosed its preliminary investment return is 11.6% for FY 24/25, which will be reflected in the following fiscal year.
Other liabilities increased by $2.2 million to $14.0 million in FY 24/25, this is mainly due to implementation of a new accounting principle – Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 101 (GASB 101). In accordance with GASB 101, liabilities for compensated absences are recognized for: (a) leave that is attributable to services already rendered, (b) leave that accumulates, and (c) leave that is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. The new accounting standard changed how the City accounts for sick leave which was based on the vested sick leave as described in the City’s Personnel

10 FY 24/25, the City was reimbursed for $1.7 million for projects and programs in ARPA funds which is described in the Transmittal Letter (see page i) and discussed below (see page 15). Grant revenues and contributions from other agencies typically vary year over year depending upon the stage of projects underway during the year.
General Revenues
Property taxes increased by $0.3 million to $10.2 million due to higher assessed valuations on residential properties that have changed ownership.
Sales tax and Measure K transactions use tax revenues decreased by $0.2 million to $15.9 million in FY 24/25.
The sales tax revenue decrease was attributable to lower demand and closure of retail stores, which impacted revenue for general consumer goods and lower fuel prices during the fiscal year. The sales tax and Measure K transaction use tax revenue received during the fiscal year represented the fourth best year, but a drop from the all-time high in FY 21/22, which was $16.3 million.
Transient occupancy tax is similar to the prior year at $2.2 million, as both business and personal travel are slow to return to pre-pandemic levels, which was $2.5 million in FY 18/19 and dropped to $1.6 million during the first fiscal year of the pandemic.
Expense Highlights
Expenses are classified by governmental function. Total expenses for governmental activities were $46.0 million, which was $5.2 million more than the prior year. Major reasons for the net overall changes are explained below.
General government and public safety expenses increased $4.5 million from the prior year to $31.2 for FY 24/25.
The accounting for deferred pension expenses in the current year was an increase of $2.2 million to $10.1 million (see Note 10 for additional information). The pension expense mainly affects these two functions since this is where most City personnel are accounted for. This will vary annually pending on CalPERS investment returns (5.8% in prior year and 9.3% in the current year) and/or assumption changes, since these factors can have a significant impact on future pension contributions. General government is also higher than the previous year due to increased unfunded pension expense (Unfunded Actuarial Liability – UAL) for $0.6 million and a true-up of medical claims expenditures for $0.5 million. Transportation expenses were higher by $0.9 million and will vary due to the timing of projects and if those projects are considered new capital or maintenance. New capital projects would be reflected in capital assets, while maintenance projects would be expensed in the Transportation function.
Most of the transportation expenses incurred are primarily in the Gas Tax Fund and described in more information below (see page 14).
The following table presents the net expense of each of the City’s governmental activities. Net expense is defined as total program cost over the revenue generated by the program through charges for services, grants, and contributions.

11 Overall, program revenues collected are significantly lower than the program expenses. Consequently, the City is very dependent upon general revenues, particularly property and sales taxes. In April 2022, the City Council adopted by resolution an updated General Fund reserve policy that kept the $5 million Reserve for Working Capital but modified the $5 million Budget Stabilization Reserve. The Budget Stabilization Reserve was changed to $4 million with $1.0 million going to the Pension Rate Stabilization Reserve. In June 2022, $1.0 million was deposited into a Section 115 Pension Trust to help the City address pension costs as interest income is earned over time. The policy allowed the reserve to increase based on additional contributions and/or interest earnings into the trust. The Section 115 Pension Trust is $2.0 million as of June 30, 2025, with the City Council authorizing additional contributions of $0.4 million and interest income of $0.2 million during the fiscal year. The reserves provide working capital and mitigate the impacts of an economic downturn or unplanned major expenditure.

12 Financial Analysis of Governmental Funds
As discussed earlier, the City uses governmental fund accounting to ensure compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The City’s Governmental Funds Statement provides information on short term inflows, outflows and the balance of spendable resources. Unassigned fund balance illustrates the City’s net resources available for discretionary use.
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of $43.4 million.
Approximately $5.2 million of the combined total fund balance is unassigned and available for spending at the City’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is either restricted ($18.3 million), committed ($1.4 million), or assigned ($18.5 million). The restricted portion includes $0.1 million from remaining loan proceeds for the library project and $2.0 million from the Section 115 Pension Trust in the General Fund, $5.1 million for Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds, and $3.9 million related to street improvements with Measure J and Gas Tax Funds. The assigned portion includes $2.8 million related to Measure K programs and projects, $6.7 million for various capital projects, and $9.0 million for contingencies associated with cash flow, economic uncertainty or catastrophic events as described above regarding the General Fund reserve policy.
General Fund
Balance Sheet
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. At the end of FY 24/25, the fund balance for the General Fund was $19.2 million, compared to $19.4 million in the prior year. The $0.2 million decrease was due to Measure K fund balance transfer for city projects and partially offset by higher investment earnings and salary savings from open positions.
Revenues
Total General Fund revenues, excluding other financing sources, increased by $0.9 million over FY 23/24 for a total of $37.8 million for FY 24/25. The year-over-year change in revenue sources is noted below.

CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
13 Property taxes increased by $0.3 million year-over-year to $9.4 million. The increase was primarily due to higher assessed valuations on residential properties that have changed ownership.
Sales tax revenues and Measure K transactions and use tax for the fiscal year decreased $0.2 million, as the current year totaled $15.9 million ($10.4 million + $5.5 million) compared to $16.1 million ($10.6 million + $5.5 million) in the previous year. The sales tax revenue decrease was attributable to lower demand and closure of retail stores, which impacted revenue for general consumer goods, and there was a decrease in fuel prices compared to the previous year which reduced revenues from gasoline stations.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues were heavily impacted by the pandemic due to less travel for personal and business purposes, as discussed earlier. TOT revenues have recovered but not to pre-pandemic levels and were $2.2 million in FY 24/25 and FY 23/24.
Use of Money and Property decreased slightly to $1.3 million due to the fair market value adjustment being less than the prior year but offset by higher interest rates. The fair value adjustment was for $0.3 million compared to $0.5 million in the prior year and is a requirement by the Governmental Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 31 (GASB 31), to record the fair value of investments on June 30. The other reason is an additional investment income of $0.1 million due to rising interest rates. In general, the City holds investments to maturity, and the fair value adjustment has no impact to ongoing operations but is required to be reported. Interest rates have increased over the last couple of years, for example, investment rates for Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is similar to a savings account for municipalities including the City, have risen over the last several years from 0.3% in FY 21/22 to 4.55% in FY 24/25. Further details can be found in Note 3 to the basic financial statements.
Expenditures
Total General Fund expenditures increased by $2.8 million over the FY 23/24 amount for a total of $33.8 million for FY 24/25. The year-over-year change in significant expenditures by function is noted below.
General Fund Expenditures for the Year Ended June 30 ($ in Millions) 2025 2024 Incr./(Decr.)
Expenditures by Function and Type
General Government 11.6 $ 9.4 $ 2.2 $
Public Safety 13.4 12.8 0.6
Transportation 3.5 3.5 -

Debt Service - Principal 2.2 2.1 0.1
Debt Service - Interest and
fiscal charges 0.3 0.4 (0.1)
Total Expenditures $ 31.0 33.8 $ 2.8 $
Public safety is the largest function in the City and expenditures were $0.6 million higher due to increasing salary and benefits expenses. General government expenditures were higher than the previous year by $2.2 million, primarily due to increased unfunded pension costs of $0.6 million, a true-up of medical claims of $0.5 million, and the reallocation of $0.6 million in information technology costs to the General Fund from the Technology Replacement Fund to cover ongoing expenses. Transportation expenditures were consistent with the previous year, while Community Development observed a slight increase due to the department being fully staffed. Capital outlay decreased by $0.3 million as there are only a few remaining punch list items for the library. FY 24/25 is the fourth year of debt service on the library lease financing the private placement loan for $2.5 million.

Transfers Out (4.3) (5.0) 0.7
Total Other Financing Sources (Uses) $ (4.8) (4.3) $ 0.5 $ During FY 24/25, the City transferred $4.3 million out of the General Fund, whereas $5.0 million was transferred during the prior year. Transfers in decreased since the CORE Homeless Program was an eligible project for ARPA funds in the prior year. Transfers out to other funds were $0.7 million less than the prior year, due to shifting ongoing technology costs being expended in the General Fund instead of transferring to the technology replacement funds. The transfer of funds fluctuates year-to-year due to the discretionary operating or capital needs among funds, as directed by the managing departments and City Council.
Traffic Mitigation Fund
The Traffic Mitigation fund accounts for revenues such as grants and fees assessed on new development. Traffic Mitigation funds are primarily used for the enhancement and expansion of the City’s transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. Revenues vary year to year based on the amount of fees collected by the City. During FY 24/25, the fund received charges for services and interest of $287 thousand. The fund balance was $439 thousand as of June 30, 2025.
Measure J Growth Management Fund
The Measure J Growth Management fund accounts for resources that are distributed by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority to the City annually from the countywide Measure J program for transportation improvements and maintenance. Measure J is a one-half cent countywide transportation sales tax approved by Contra Costa County voters in 2004 to help generate funding for various transportation improvement and maintenance programs throughout Contra Costa County.
Total revenue and expenditures, including transfers between funds, were $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. It is typical for revenue and expenditures to vary annually due to the timing of maintenance and/or project costs with the reimbursements for grants. The fund balance was $2.3 million as of June 30, 2025.
Gas Tax Fund
The Gas Tax fund accounts for gas taxes apportioned by the State and grants for capital projects. The authorization for the levy and expenditure of gas taxes is codified in the California Streets and Highway Code, Sections 2103- 2107. Gas tax is apportioned to cities based on three factors: vehicle registration, assessed valuation, and population. These funds are restricted to engineering and administrative costs related to street projects. On April 28, 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) was signed into law by the California Governor. SB 1 imposed additional fuel tax and vehicle fees to supplement funding for roadway maintenance and other transportation needs in the State. A portion of SB 1 is allocated to the City for roadway maintenance or improvement projects.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
15 The Gas Tax fund had expenditures in excess of revenues, including transfers to/from other funds, of ($2.7) million during FY 24/25. Grant revenue and gas tax apportionments were $5.3 million, transfers in from other funds were $1.1 million, and expenditures were $8.9 million. The City spent $8.1 million on the Contra Costa Boulevard – Viking Drive Improvement Project. During the year, $1.1 million in Measure K funds were transferred in from the General Fund for the street and roads program. The Gas Tax fund has a fund balance of $4.5 million on June 30, 2025.
Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund
Redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved effective February 1, 2012. Successor agencies and oversight boards oversee the dissolution and the winding down of redevelopment activities. At the City Council meeting on January 9, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 3-12 determining it would serve as a Successor Agency to the Pleasant Hill Redevelopment Agency, and elected to serve as the Housing Successor Agency, which would retain the housing assets, functions, and powers performed by the former Agency. The City no longer serves as the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency; however, it continues to serve as the Housing Successor Agency. The Housing Successor Agency’s financial data and transactions are reported in the City’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset major governmental fund. The Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund had a restricted fund balance of $5.1 million as of June 30, 2025. The fund balance remains consistent from prior years when the housing assets and liabilities were transferred to this fund.
American Rescue Plan Act Fund
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund accounts for the resources provided by the federal government to assist with the impacts of COVID-19. ARPA established a State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, which provided $130 billion for local governments to enable them to continue to support the public health response and assist with economic recovery. The City received an ARPA allocation for $8.3 million, which is paid in two installments. The first installment was received in July 2021 for $4.2 million and the second funding installment was received in July 2022. Eligible costs must be expended between March 3, 2021, and December 31, 2026, and obligated by December 31, 2024.
The City obligated $8.3 million and has spent $7.1 million as of June 30, 2025. In FY 24/25, the City spent approximately $1.7 million in ARPA funds for the following projects:
a. $1.2 million for the Underground Storage Tank at the Police Department b. $0.2 million for business website assistance program and the pond and fountain project c. $0.3 million for accessory dwelling unit planning project and digital documentation Other Governmental Funds
These funds are not presented separately in the basic financial statements but are individually presented as other supplementary information.

16 Financial Analysis of Enterprise Fund
Diablo Vista Water System Enterprise Fund
The Diablo Vista Water (DVW) system provides raw canal water for irrigation purposes to 474 homes. In order to maintain the system, a usage fee of $150 per household per year was adopted by City Council Ordinance No. 786 on June 21, 2004, and took effect in FY 04/05. An additional Capital Improvements fee of $135 per household per year was also approved, and was phased in over three years, beginning in FY 04/05. On July 17, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 57-23, increasing the usage fee amount by $19.15 per household to account for rising water costs and amended the usage fee to $169.15 per household. Also, to provide funding for needed infrastructure projects, the fee was increased by $75 in FY 23/24 and $50 in FY24/25 to an amended Capital Improvement fee of $260 per household. The fees help to provide a financially solvent system. See analysis of the fund in the Business-type Activities analysis above.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Revenues and other financing sources, original and final budget was $37.5 million. Expenditures, including transfers to other funds, were originally budgeted at $39.9 million and increased to $40.7 million in the final budget.
The FY 24/25 final budget projected the General Fund would have a deficit of $3.1 million. It is important to note that the General Fund includes Measure K, which has operating and capital costs of $1.0 million, along with $2.5 million in debt service and $3.3 million in transfers. At the close of FY 24/25, the actual change in fund balance was a decrease of $0.2 million. Significant items contributing to the variance are as follows:
Total revenues were $0.6 million higher than budgeted. The most significant increase was due to higher property tax revenues based on valuations for $0.3 million, other taxes for $0.4 million due to higher business license revenues, licenses and permits revenues for $0.2 million for infrastructure projects done by utilities throughout the City, and use of money of property due to rising interest rates/fair market value adjustments for $0.5 million.
This was offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in sales tax and Measure K use tax due to decline in retail sales and lower fuel prices.
Total expenditures were $2.6 million lower than budgeted. The following functions were under budget due mainly to salary savings from vacancies and savings from supply and services: Public safety for $0.7 million; General government for $1.0 million; and Transportation for $0.7 million.
Total other financing sources (uses) were $0.3 million lower than budget. The transfers in of $30 thousand consist of reimbursements related to police services from the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund. This was offset by $251 thousand for Governmental Services through ARPA which was reprogrammed for the Underground Storage Tank Project in the Capital Projects Fund. The transfers out of $4.3 million consist of funding for vehicles, information technology, and capital projects and programs related to the Measure K funds.
Capital Assets
The City’s infrastructure capital assets include streets, storm drains, streetlights, and traffic control devices. Each year, based on the determination of the City’s Engineering Division, completed projects that meet certain criteria are capitalized. Capitalizable projects that are under construction at fiscal year-end are recorded as constructionin-progress and are capitalized as depreciable assets in the year they are completed. Capital assets and accumulated depreciation that are recorded in the City’s financial statements are shown in the table below. Further details regarding capital assets can be found in Note 7 in the basic financial statements.

The main changes were additions to construction in progress for the Contra Costa Boulevard to Viking Road Improvement Project for $5.9 million and the completion of the Underground Storage Tank at the Police Department for $1.2 million. The capital assets for business type activities were $1.4 million since there were no additions to the Diablo Vista Water system. The City depreciates its depreciable capital assets over their estimated useful lives. Current year depreciation expenses of $4.3 million contribute to a total accumulated depreciation of $86.9 million in FY24/25. Additional information on the estimated useful life of each capital asset category may be found in Note 1(H).
Long-Term Debt

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
34 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Pleasant Hill (City) was incorporated on November 14, 1961 under the laws of the State of California. The City operates under the Council-City Manager form of government and provides the following services: public safety, transportation, community development, and general government.
The basic financial statements include the financial activities of the City, Successor Agency to the Pleasant Hill Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency) and the Pleasant Hill Joint Powers Financing Authority (Authority).
The Successor Agency is a separate governmental entity established on February 1, 2012 for the purpose of serving as a custodian of the assets of the former Pleasant Hill Redevelopment Agency (Agency) and winding down the former Agency’s activities subject to the direction of a Countywide Oversight Board.
The Countywide Oversight Board serves as the governing body and is comprised of seven members: 1) a County of Contra Costa (County) Supervisors representative, 2) a mayor appointed by a city selection committee, 3) a special district representative, 4) a school district representative, 5) a community college district representative, 6) a member of the public, and 7) a successor agency employee appointed from the largest employer of successor agency employees in the County. The Successor Agency’s financial transactions are accounted for in a private-purpose trust fund, a fiduciary fund type.
The Authority is a separate government entity whose purpose is to assist with the financing or refinancing of certain public capital facilities within the City. The Authority is controlled by the City and is governed by a board consisting of the City Manager, City Attorney, and Finance Manager, who also manage all accounting and administrative functions for the Authority. The Authority is a blended component unit, and is in substance part of the City’s operations and has a financial benefits and burden relationship with the City.
The Successor Agency and Authority do not issue separate financial statements and are reported in the City’s basic financial statements.
B. Basis of Presentation
The City's basic financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard setting body for establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United States.
Government-Wide Statements: The statement of net position and the statement of activities display information about the City’s primary government. These statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities, except where interfund services have been received or provided.
These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the City.
Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. The City’s business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
35 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include: (a) charges paid by the recipients for goods or services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational needs of a particular program, and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds, including fiduciary funds and the blended component units. Separate statements for each fund categorygovernmental, proprietary, and fiduciary are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues include charges for services provided to customers. Operating expenses for the enterprise fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
C. Major Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets and deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their governmental or enterprise fund-type total and five percent of the combined grand total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying basic financial statements.
General Fund - Accounts for all of the general revenues and financial resources of the City not specifically levied or collected for the other City funds, as well as the related expenditures.
Traffic Mitigation Fund - Accounts for contributions received and traffic mitigation fees assessed on new developments to provide for street or other traffic improvements.
Measure J Growth Management Fund - Accounts for resources provided by the one-half cent sales tax dedicated to transportation improvement projects.
Gas Tax Fund - Accounts for gas tax apportioned by the State to cities based upon three factors: vehicle registration, assessed valuation, and population. These funds are used for street construction and maintenance.
Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund – Accounts for housing assets and functions related to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Program retained by the City following the dissolution of the former Agency. Revenues are generated from the housing assets, including loan repayments and proceeds from the sale of the housing assets.
American Rescue Plan Act Fund – Accounts for funds received from the federal government from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. These funds provide relief from COVID-19 pandemic-related economic impacts to the City’s operations. The funds are to be used for general City services and capital projects.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
36 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The City reports its only enterprise fund as a major fund in the accompanying basic financial statements.
The Diablo Vista Water System Fund - Accounts for the financing of self-supporting activities, which render irrigation water to the homeowners in a specific geographical area of the City, paid from property taxes and user charges.
The City also reports the following fiduciary funds:
Private-Purpose Trust Fund - The Successor Agency was created to serve as a custodian for the nonhousing assets and to wind down the affairs of the former Agency. This fund accounts for the receipt of property tax revenues pursuant to the Redevelopment Dissolution Act and the value of the assets transferred from the former Agency. The Successor Agency’s assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution pursuant to the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules approved by the State Department of Finance (DOF) under the Redevelopment Dissolution Act.
Custodial Funds - Custodial funds are used to account for assets held by the City as a custodian for individuals, private organizations, and other governments. The City maintains four custodial funds.
The financial activities of these fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements, but are presented in separate fiduciary fund financial statements.
D. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
For the Diablo Vista Water System Enterprise Fund, revenues are billed to customers by the County of Contra Costa and are included on each customer's property tax statement. Revenues for services provided but not billed at the end of a fiscal period are not considered material and are not accrued.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available.
Generally, the City considers all revenues, except property tax revenues, reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within 45 days after year-end. Property tax revenues are recognized by the City in the fiscal year they are assessed provided they become available within 60 days after year-end for governmental funds. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Governmental capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of governmental long-term debt and acquisitions under leases are reported as other financing sources.
Revenues susceptible to accrual include taxes, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, and interest. Fines, licenses, and permits are not susceptible to accrual because they are not measurable until received in cash.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
37 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The City may fund programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be available to finance program expenditures. The City's policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and activities.
Transactions representing the exchange of interfund goods and services have also been included.
E. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows for the City’s proprietary fund, pooled cash and investments held by City Treasury are considered cash equivalents as the proprietary fund can access pooled cash and investments in a manner similar to a demand deposit account.
F. Investments
The City's investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.
G. Interfund Transactions
Interfund loans and balances related to unsettled service transactions are reported as receivables and payables as appropriate, and are subject to elimination upon consolidation of similar fund types, and are referred to as either “due from/to other funds” (i.e., the current portion of inter-fund loans and unsettled service transactions) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans).
Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and the business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances”.
Services provided or used, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures or expenses. Transactions constituting reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental or proprietary funds, if any, are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide presentation.
H. Capital Assets
Capital assets are valued at cost or estimated historical cost if actual cost is not available. Donated capital assets are stated at their acquisition value. Infrastructure capital assets consisting of streets, roads, curbs, gutters, storm drains, street drainage, street lights, and traffic control devices have been capitalized and depreciated. Capital assets are defined as assets with an initial individual cost of more than $1,500 and a useful life of in excess of one year.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
38 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Some capital assets may be acquired using federal and state grant funds, or they may be contributed by developers or other governments. These contributions are accounted for as revenues at the time the capital assets are contributed.
Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 10-50 years
Equipment and furniture 3-15 years
Streets and roads 50 years
Curbs and gutters 50 years
Storm drains 50 years
Street lights 50 years
Traffic control devices 50 years
Diablo Vista Water system infrastructure 50 years
I. Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time.
The City reports the following deferred items:
Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions These deferred items are recognized and measured in financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The deferral is for changes in the net pension liability that are not included in pension expense and must be amortized in a systematic and rational manner over a closed period depending on cause beginning with the current period. These causes may include changes of future economic and demographic assumptions or other inputs, differences between expected and actual experience with regard to economic or demographic factors, differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments, changes in employer’s proportion, and differences between the employer’s actual and proportionate share of contributions.
Employer contributions subsequent to the measurement date of the net pension liability are also required to be reported as deferred outflows of resources.
Deferred Inflow of Resources Related to Unavailable Revenue Unavailable revenue is only reported in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from sources such as housing loans, State-mandated cost reimbursements, expenditure-driven grants, etc.

39 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) J. Land Held for Redevelopment
Land held for redevelopment is carried at the lower of cost, net realizable value, or agreed-upon sales price if a disposition and development agreement has been made with a developer.
K. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are comprised of vacation and vested sick time. The City's liability for compensated absences is recorded in governmental activities. The liability for compensated absences is determined annually and recorded in the statement of net position.
As discussed in Note 1(N) to the financial statements, effective July 1, 2024, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences (GASB 101). In accordance with GASB 101, liabilities for compensated absences are recognized for: (a) leave that is attributable to services already rendered, (b) leave that accumulates, and (c) leave that is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, changes to the compensated absences liabilities were as follows:
Governmental
Activities
Compensated Absences liability at June 30, 2024, as previously reported 2,558,172 $ GASB 101 implementation impact 945,561
Compensated Absences liability at June 30, 2024, as restated 3,503,733 Current year net change 222,010
Compensated Absences liability at June 30, 2025 3,725,743 $ Current Portion 1,863,000 $
L. Net Pension Liability
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the City’s California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by CalPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The net pension liability is typically liquidated by the General Fund.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
40 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) M. Property Tax
The County distributes property taxes to jurisdictions according to the “alternate method of property tax distribution” known as the Teeter Plan. Under this plan, the County remits 100% of the levied taxes to the appropriate jurisdictions by June 30 each year, pursuing delinquencies and keeping related late penalties to cover their costs. The City receives property taxes and property tax increments, respectively, on the following schedule: 55% in December, 40% in April, and 5% in June. The lien date for secured and unsecured property taxes is established as of January 1 of the preceding fiscal year.
Secured property tax is due in two equal installments, on November 1 and February 1. It becomes delinquent after December 10 and April 10, respectively. Unsecured property tax is due upon receipt of billing and becomes delinquent on August 31. The term “unsecured” refers to taxes not secured by real property. These taxes are secured by liens on the property being taxed.
Pursuant to the Redevelopment Dissolution Act, funds that would have been distributed to the former Agency as tax increment, hereafter referred to as redevelopment property tax revenues, are deposited into the Successor Agency’s Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (Trust Fund) administered by the City for the benefit of holders of the former Agency’s enforceable obligations. Distributions from the Trust Fund are to be made on the following cycles:
Distribution Dates
Covers Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedules to be Paid
January 2 January 1 through June 30
June 1 July 1 through December 31
N. Effect of New Pronouncements
The City implemented the following GASB Statements during the year:
In June 2022, the GASB issued Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The objective of this statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures.
As of July 1, 2024, the City restated its net position to record the changes in compensated absences liabilities as follows:
As previously
Reported
GASB 101
Implementation Impact As Restated
Governmental Activities $ 79,473,226 $ 945,561 $ 78,527,665 Net Position, Beginning of Year
In December 2023, the GASB issued Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures. The objective of this statement is to provide information to users of government financial statements about risks that could impact a government's financial health. The statement aims to improve the consistency and transparency of how governments disclose information about risk financing and insurance-related transactions.
Implementation of this statement did not have a significant impact on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
41 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The City is currently analyzing its accounting practices to determine the potential impact on the financial statements for the following GASB Statements:
In April 2024, the GASB issued Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements. The objective of this statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. This Statement also addresses certain application issues. The requirements of this statement are effective for the City’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
In September 2024, the GASB issued Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital Assets. This statement requires certain types of capital assets to be disclosed separately in the capital assets note disclosure required by Statement No. 34. Lease assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases and intangible right-to-use assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements, should be disclosed separately by major class of underlying asset in the capital assets note disclosures. Subscription assets recognized in accordance with Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements, also should be separately disclosed. In addition, this statement requires intangible assets other than those three types to be disclosed separately by major class. This statement also requires additional disclosures for capital assets held for sale. A capital asset is a capital asset held for sale if (1) the government has decided to pursue the sale of the capital asset and (2) it is probable that the sale will be finalized within one year of the financial statement date. Governments should consider relevant factors to evaluate the likelihood of the capital asset being sold within the established time frame. The statement requires that capital assets held for sale be evaluated each reporting period. Governments should disclose (1) the ending balance of capital assets held for sale, with separate disclosures for historical cost and accumulated deprecation by major class of asset, and (2) the carrying amount of debt for which the capital assets held for sale are pledged as collateral for each major class of asset. The requirements of this statement are effective for the City’s year ending June 20, 2026.
O. Leases
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset (the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. The City will record lease liabilities and lease assets for leases with an individual net present value of $100,000 or more.
The City had no leases with an individual net present value of $100,000 or more as of June 30, 2025.
P. Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs) A SBITA is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA vendor’s) information technology (IT) software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period in time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. The City will record SBITA liabilities and SBITA assets for arrangements with an individual net present value of $100,000 or more. The City had no SBITA arrangements with an individual net present value of $100,000 or more as of June 30, 2025.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
42 NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Q. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City adopts a biennial budget on or before June 30 of even-numbered years for each of the ensuing two fiscal years generally for all funds except fiduciary funds. The Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset major governmental fund, as well as Parkland Dedication, Park and Recreation, and Traffic Congestion Relief nonmajor governmental funds, were not budgeted for the year ended June 30, 2025. The operating budget takes the form of a two-year budget, which is adopted in its entirety by the City Council by resolution.
The operating budget is subject to supplemental appropriations throughout its term in order to provide flexibility to meet changing needs and conditions. The City Manager may approve supplemental appropriations up to $100,000 in the General Fund in increments no larger than $25,000. Council may approve additional appropriations throughout the year as well.
The City Manager is also authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between individual departments and funds. Budget transfers between accounts within a department may be approved by the department director.
Budgeted amounts reported in the accompanying basic financial statements include original and final budget amounts. The level of budgetary control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the fund level. Budgets for governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
B. Deficit Fund Balance and Net Position
The Successor Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund had a deficit net position of $1,008,476. The deficit is due to the nature of the redevelopment financing in which long-term debt were incurred for redevelopment activities. The deficit is expected to be eliminated with future redevelopment property tax revenues distributed from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund administered by the County.
C. Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations
The following funds had expenditures in excess of budget due to unanticipated expenditures for the year ended June 30, 2025, which was covered with existing fund balance and revenues in fiscal year 2025:
Amount
Nonmajor governmental funds:
American Rescue Plan Act Fund 44,400 $
Waste Management/Recycling Fund 4,376
Senior Van Services Fund 75
Disability Access Fund 2,013

43 NOTE 3 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City's dependence on property tax receipts, which are received semi-annually, requires it to maintain significant cash reserves to finance operations during the remainder of the year. The City pools cash from all sources and all funds except for cash and investments held with trustees. The City’s pooled idle funds are invested pursuant to investment policy guidelines adopted by the City Council. The objectives of the policy are to invest funds to the fullest extent possible and to invest in accordance with the provisions of the California Government Code with the priority of safety, liquidity, and return on investment. The policy addresses the safekeeping of securities, types of authorized investment instruments, diversification, maturities, and reporting requirements. The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds.
Each fund type’s portion of this pool is displayed on the financial statements as “cash and investments – held in City Treasury.” Cash and investments held in trust for pension benefits are treated as restricted.
A. Policies
The City invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system. Security instruments owned by the City are held in safekeeping by a third-party custodian acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement. The City has mitigated its exposure to custodial credit risks for investments at June 30, 2025.
California law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a fair value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a fair value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California law, this collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City’s name and places the City ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The City has mitigated its exposure to custodial credit risks for deposits at June 30, 2025.

E. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City generally manages its interest rate risk by holding investments to maturity.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments (including investments held by trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity or earliest call date:

LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA). PMIA oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an in-house Investment Committee. PMIB members are the State Treasurer, State Director of Finance, and State Controller. The Local Investment Advisory Board provides oversight for LAIF. The Board consists of five members as designated by statute. The Chairman is the State Treasurer or his designated representative. Two members are qualified by training and experience in the field of investment or finance, and the State Treasurer appoints two members who are treasurers, finance or fiscal officers, or business managers employed by any county, city, or local district or municipal corporation of this state. LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market quotations are readily available, and on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where fair value is not readily available. The balance available for withdrawal by the City is based on the accounting records maintained by the State. At June 30, 2025, PMIA has a total amount of approximately $178.1 billion and of that amount, 96.19% was invested in non-derivative financial products and 3.81% in structured notes and asset-backed securities, while the weighted average maturity of LAIF was 248 days.
F. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The City manages credit risk in accordance with the City's Investment Policy.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2025
54 NOTE 9 – NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES
Net position is measured on the full accrual basis while fund balances are measured on the modified accrual basis.
A. Net Position
The government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net position is categorized as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – This category groups all capital assets including, infrastructure, into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and outstanding balances of debt and any debt-related deferred outflows and inflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the balance in this category.
Restricted – This category consists of restricted assets reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to those assets. Enabling legislation authorizes the City to assess, levy, charge, or otherwise mandate payment of resources and includes a legally enforceable requirement that those resources be used only for the specific purposes stipulated in the legislation. A legally enforceable enabling legislation restriction is one that a party external to a government—such as citizens, public interest groups, or the judiciary - can compel a government to honor. At June 30, 2025, the government-wide statement of net position reported restricted net position of $19,955,946 in governmental activities, of which $957,281 are restricted by enabling legislation.
Unrestricted – This category represents net position of the City that does not meet the definition of “net investment in capital assets” or “restricted.”
B. Fund Balances
Governmental funds report fund balance in classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the funds can be spent. Fund balances for governmental funds are made up of the following:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – includes amounts that are (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash, i.e., prepaid items.
Restricted Fund Balance – includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally or through enabling legislation. Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers.
Committed Fund Balance – includes amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. The City Council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the City that can commit fund balances by adoption of an ordinance.
Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City Council taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally.
Assigned Fund Balance – comprises amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or the City Manager to whom the City Council has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes by adoption of a resolution.

55 NOTE 9 – NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES (Continued)
Unassigned Fund Balance – is the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose. Other governmental funds may only report a negative unassigned balance that was created after classification in one of the other four fund balance categories.
In circumstances when an expenditure may be made for which amounts are available in multiple fund balance classifications, fund balance is depleted in the order of restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.
The City Council has established reserve policy levels for contingency, Measure K revenues, and pension benefit purposes. At June 30, 2025, contingency reserve of $9,000,000 and Measure K reserve of $2,845,670 are reported as assigned fund balance in the General Fund, and $1,972,103 is reported as restricted fund balance in the General Fund relating to the Section 115 trust for pension.

A. Sick Leave Conversion Benefits
Employees hired before certain dates (ranging from August 2011 to November 2011) as stated in the applicable Memorandum of Understanding are entitled to a sick leave conversion benefit. Specific terms of the conversion differ for each employee group. In general, when employees with more than 20 years of service retire, they may convert the net present value of their unused sick leave hours to a Retirement Health Savings plan in accordance with the terms of their bargaining group’s Memorandum of Understanding. A scaled down conversion plan exists for employees with a service retirement of 15 to 19 years of City employment for certain bargaining groups. Employees of the Police Officers Association bargaining groups were provided limited reimbursements for medical insurance based on the unused sick leave hours on the employee’s date of retirement. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City provided medical benefits for 2 retirees from the converted sick leave bank and total benefits expended on a pay-as-you-go basis amounted to $42,596.

B. Deferred Compensation Plan
City employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a City sponsored Deferred Compensation Plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Under this plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until it is distributed to them as defined by the plan.
The laws governing deferred compensation plan assets require plan assets to be held by a trust for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Since the assets held under these plans are not the City's property and are not subject to City control, they have been excluded from these financial statements.
The City has a contract with International City Managers' Association (ICMA) to manage and invest the assets of the Deferred Compensation Plan; ICMA pools the assets of the Deferred Compensation Plan with those of other participants and does not make separate investments for employees.
The City's contract with ICMA was amended January 1, 1997 to substitute a separate trust for the City as owner of the assets in the plan, with the City becoming a trustee, but with no power over investment decisions. As a result, the assets in the Deferred Compensation Plan are not subject to claims by creditors of the City and are not reflected in the City's financial statements.
C. CalPERS Safety and Miscellaneous Employees Plans
Plan Description
The City participates in a cost-sharing multiple-employer pension plan that is administered by CalPERS.
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the City’s CalPERS plan.

CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers.
Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and City resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plan regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website at www.calpers.ca.gov.
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on a final average compensation period of 12 months or 36 months. The cost of living adjustments for the CalPERS plans are applied as specified by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), which took effect in January 2013, changes the way CalPERS retirement and health benefits are applied, and places compensation limits on members. As such, members who established CalPERS membership on or after January 1, 2013 are known as “PEPRA” members.

Contributions
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the City’s contractually required contributions, which are actuarially determined, were as follows:
Miscellaneous - All Plans 2,707,063 $
Safety - All Plans 3,602,240
Total 6,309,303 $
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The City is required to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
In June 2022, the City established a Section 115 irrevocable trust with the Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS). The Trust Account allows more control and flexibility in investment allocations compared to the City’s portfolio which is restricted by State regulations to fixed income instruments. On June 27, 2022, the City made a one-time initial contribution of $1,000,000 into the trust. The City will consider making additional contributions to the Trust based on the net position of the General Fund recommended by the City Manager and Finance Manager. The amount will be based on unassigned General Fund Balance when revenues exceed costs (excluding Measure K funds) in the audited financial statements.
The recommended contribution amount will be based on the higher of 10% or $50,000 of the excess unassigned General Fund Balance. At June 30, 2025, the City reported the account balance of $1,972,103 as restricted cash and investments with trustees in the General Fund.
Net Pension Liability
At June 30, 2025, the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability of Miscellaneous Plans and Safety Plans were 0.20325%, or $24,649,552 and 0.25026% or $30,350,363, respectively. The total net pension liability for the City was $54,999,915.
The City’s net pension liability was based on the proportionate shares (in dollars) determined by CalPERS based on individual actuarial measurements specific to each rate plan in the Miscellaneous and the Safety Risk Pools. The City’s total proportionate share of the cost-sharing plan pension amounts is the sum of the pension amounts allocated to each of the City’s Miscellaneous and Safety rate plans. The City’s net pension liability is measured as of June 30, 2024, using annual actuarial valuations as of June 30, 2023 rolled forward to June 30, 2024 using standard update procedures. The City’s proportions of the net pension liability for the Miscellaneous Plans and Safety Plans were actuarially determined as of the valuation dates.
The City’s proportionate share in the percentage of the net pension liability for the Miscellaneous Plans increased by 0.00379% while that for the Safety Plans increased by 0.00422%, from the previous measurement date.

Actuarial Assumptions
A summary of the actuarial assumptions and methods used to calculate the total pension liability as of June 30, 2024 are as follows:
Valuation date June 30, 2023
Measurement date June 30, 2024
Measurement period July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024
Actuarial cost method Entry-age normal cost method
Actuarial assumptions:
Discount rate 6.90%
Inflation 2.30%
Salaries increase Varies by entry age and service
Mortality Derived using CalPERS Membership Data for all funds (1) Post Retirement Benefit Increase The lessor of contract COLA or 2.30% until Purchasing Power Protection Allowance Floor on Purchasing Power applies,
2.30% thereafter.
(1) The mortality table used was developed based on CalPERS’ specific data. The probabilities of mortality are based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study. Mortality rates incorporate full generational mortality improvements using 80% of Scale MP-2020 published by the Society of Actuaries. For more details on the table, refer to the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study available on the CalPERS website.
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2023 valuation were based on the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study, including updates to salary increase, mortality and retirement rates. Further details of the 2021 CalPERS Experience Study can be found on the CalPERS website under Forms and Publications.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent for each Plan. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that the contributions from plan members will be made at the current member contributions rates and that the contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.

61 NOTE 10 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and longterm market return expectations. Using historical returns of all the funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the next 20 years using a building-block approach. The expected rate of return was then adjusted to account for assumed administrative expenses of 10 basis points. The expected real rates of return by asset class are as follows:
Assumed Asset Real Return
Asset Class Allocation (a)(b)
Global Equity - Cap-weighted 30.0% 4.54%
Global Equity - Non-Cap-weighted 12.0% 3.84%
Private Equity 13.0% 7.28%

Year Ended June 30, 2025
84 Custodial funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of others.
Specific custodial funds are as follows:
Acme Landfill Closure Fund - accounts for funds collected by Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal Company from their Pleasant Hill ratepayers prior to February 8, 1993 and turned over to the City on that date for the purpose of covering future costs of the closure of the Acme Landfill. In addition, from November 1994 through June 1997, savings from the Keller Canyon Landfill rate reduction were deposited into this fund.
Transpac Fund - accounts for contributions from TRANSPAC member agencies in central County of Contra Costa and the use of those funds for transportation planning and information purposes.
Asset Forfeiture Holding Fund - accounts for cash seized in drug cases, the distribution of which is determined later by the court. Distribution is most often among the law enforcement agencies involved in the arrest and investigation. If the City receives a portion, it is transferred to the Police Special Services Fund.

Source: City of Pleasant Hill Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports and Contra Costa County Please note the County distributes property taxes to jurisdications under the "alternate method of property tax distribution known as the Teeter Plan Under this plan the County remits 100% of the levied taxes to the City by June 30 of each year. (1) Pleasant Hill was incorporated in 1961 as a "No-Property Tax" city. The citizens wanted a minimum-service city that could be supported by revenues other than property taxes. Annexations over the years brought a minimum amount of annual property tax revenue to the City from Contra Costa County, as required by the annexation process. Beginning in fiscal year 1989-90, and due to State legislation in 1988 which was designed to bring some relief to no/low property tax cities, the County shifted some of its property taxes to Pleasant Hill in exchange for state trial court funding. The shift was designed to be phased in over seven years, starting at 1% and increasing 1% per year for seven years, leveling out at 7%.
Due to later ERAF legislation, the shift was adjusted to level out at 6.09% instead of 7% and will remain there unless the law changes. The annual shift is a result of a formula specified in the law, and is included in the amounts listed here. In addition, the Redevelopment Agency has received property tax increments since 1975 to service debt and, as required by law since 1977, to fund low and moderate housing and rehabilitation; only the amount used for debt service is included here. $6.2 $6.6 $7.0 $7.3

California Government Code, Section 43605 sets the debt limit at 15%. The Code section was enacted prior to the change in basing assessed value to full market value when it was previously 25% of market value. Thus, the limit shown as 3.75% is onefourth the limit to account for the adjustment of showing assessed valuation at full cash value.
Includes special assessment bonds and all debt supported by general fund revenues, including general obligations, street bonds, refunding lease revenue bonds and lease financing loan. Excludes Pleasant Hill Redevelopment Agency tax allocation refunding bonds.
